KONCE by Catharina Ellingsæter

With 13+ years of experience with user experience, design, marketing, and strategy, I have had the privilege of holding key roles in both agencies and companies. I’ve served as CEO of the consultancy firm Growit Group, second-in-command and digital advisor at Oktan Oslo, and contributed to product development at PayEx/Swedbank Pay and VG Lab. Later, I led customer experience and B2B offerings at Elton.

Having worked with over 200 companies across industries, I’ve seen firsthand what truly works. I thrive on blending strategic thinking with creativity, always measuring success through tangible results. While documentation, goal-setting, and planning are crucial, I also emphasize building strong company cultures, developing effective business and product strategies, and delivering impactful user experiences. Today, I use this experience to help businesses achieve lasting improvements.

Why KONCE?

I founded KONCE because I wanted to offer businesses a more holistic approach to strategy and execution. Time and again, I saw that one project often uncovered deeper needs:

  • A new website revealed the need for a clearer sales and marketing strategy.
  • Brand work highlighted the importance of streamlining internal processes and systems.
  • Customer journey optimization often pointed to employee experience and workplace culture improvements.

Running a business is like operating a complex machine—everything is interconnected. With KONCE, I provide both strategic advisory and hands-on support across all aspects of business operations, ensuring that together we achieve real, measurable results.

A little help goes a long Way

I often meet marketing managers and business leaders who feel forced to deprioritize key aspects of their work. Daily tasks take precedence over strategic planning, leaving them without a clear roadmap to navigate their challenges. Without a defined direction, results can fall short, and setting measurable goals becomes difficult. The consequences can be significant—this is where external support can make all the difference.   

If you recognize this need—whether it’s for shaping strong strategies or streamlining daily operations—let’s have a conversation.Get in touch, and let’s find a way forward together.

 

This is us!
